This is a fancy map. It has something to do with the plot. The infodump informed me that Satan tried to take over this world/alternate dimension/whathaveyou (Ente) with his four generals (Adramelech, Lucifer, Alciel and Malacoda). A hero rose up, as they are want to do, and brought him down. In the final showdown between Satan and the hero, Satan decides to change dimensions and he and Alciel appear in modern day earth.
Where there is very little magic, and so, they're stuck.
I didn't understand why there were subtitles upon subtitles, but apparently the MCs actually speak non-Japanese. See, I just thought they talked stilted and funny. Way to be insensitive me.
Anyway, after being picked up by the police and dubbed 'cosplayers', Satan and Alciel go upon their merry way acquiring proper identification, banking, and housing with their demon mind tricks.
Their landlord is pretty much the grossest, btw.
A trip to the hospital has them learning about food and how they need to consume it. Also about how expensive going to the hospital is. Running out of money, they apply for jobs.
Alciel becomes a frighting househusband type and researches how to return to their original demension, while Satan gets a job at the local fast food joint and climbs the ranks by doing well at his job.
How does one ride a bike with an umbrella? Teach me your ways.
On the way to work this fine narrative day, it is raining, so he offers his umbrella to an adorable yet soaked girl at the crosswalk. He tells her where he works, in case she wants to get the umbrella back, or get some demon d and the goes about his day. The fryers break and he contemplates using his magic, but in being assertive and mundane, he receives a promotion and a raise.
On his way home, umbrella girl confronts him, and explains that she followed him to his place of employment in order to stalk him across the street. Also, surprise, she's the hero from the beginning. Plot twist!
Not sure how much I like Paranormal Slice of Life. I will probably give it a few more episodes. Honestly, none of the characters are particularly jarring and while the animation isn't spectacular, it doesn't hurt my eyes.
